4-H Shooting Education Club

WHY SHOOTING SPORTS

About 2/3 of the homes in the U.S. have firearms. Exposure to safe and responsible handling is vital to preventing accidents in or out of the home.

Shooting is the second most popular international sport behind track and field. It is nearly unique in being a lifetime sport.

Shooting Sports attracts new audiences to 4-H and creates adult-youth bonds. 

WE BELIEVE…

Human growth and development is the primary goal of the 4-H Shooting Sports program. 

Shooting Sports is an outstanding way to provide human growth and development opportunities. 

Introducing safe and responsible use of firearms and archery equipment opens valuable ad-vocational and life-long recreational education.
